Telangana High Court Chief Justice Alok Aradhe on July 27 told Advocate General B. S. Prasad to persuade the State government to carve out a ‘State Litigation Policy’ on a priority basis.
Noting that almost all States have such policy, the CJ said that it was imperative that Telangana State should also have one. The CJ, along with Justice T. Vinod Kumar, was hearing a writ petition filed by a retired district court employee seeking reimbursement of ₹2.27 towards medical expenses.
The petitioner’s counsel informed the Bench headed by the CJ that her client incurred ₹3.46 lakh for medical treatment. Since the government had restricted reimbursement sum to one lakh Rupees, the petitioner moved the HC for release of the remaining sum of ₹2.27.
